Sending attachments---observation,plz suggest
I am noticing sthing funny now----whenever I send an XL file as an attachment, when I open my inbox, I am unable to see the "paper clip" icon that tells you that the mail contains an attachment. But try the same with a JPG file, and I can see the icon.
Am I missing sthing in the MIME? Then why is it tht i see the discrepancy in the 2 cases?What could be leading to this?
